E.X. Troopers is a new title from Capcom. Sinobi reports that the genre is action shooting, and the platform is both the PS3 and the 3DS. The producer is Shintaro Kojima, who is also producer on the Monster Hunter series. May'n is singing the theme song.

The game apparently looks like a sci-fi Rival Schools, and features anime style graphics in a high-school setting. The cutscenes will be done comic style like in Gravity Daze and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. There seems to be connections in the game universe with the Lost Planet series, but it doesn't resemble the previous Lost Planet games at all.

This should be in this week's Famitsu.

Edit: Nirolak pointed out to me that Capcom has trademarks for E.X. Troopers in US and Europe, so that's probably the English title. Thanks!

And then there's stuff like Dead Rising 2 which, even though it sold 2.2 million copies according to Wikipedia, I don't think with the development costs and the fact that it's a yen based company, 2.2M is enough to turn a profit in a game.

I see this happening with a lot of companies, like THQ, trying to fund a bunch of projects that are obviously not going anywhere, and specially a lot of Japanese companies making their IPs less and less relevant as time goes by. Makes me worry a little bit about these weird attempts with Capcom.
